Updated LT1 Single turbo pics Thanks to Bdubb for taking/hosting the pics.

The car is up and running. Brian Green came to the shop to give me a crash course in FAST tuning, and he got a really good base tune in the car. Idles and drives like stock with 83lb injectors. Thanks Green!
The only problem I'm having is the car is running too hot. It gets up to around 210-220. I wanted to keep the A/C, but it looks like it's going to have to go if I want it to run cool
Oh well, at least it will be lighter.

Re: Updated LT1 Single turbo pics Nice pics Jimmay!
How many fans are you running, I read one, but would one fan pull enough cfm for a motor putting out as much power as you can?
*EDIT*
I have been looking at various electric fans and they vary like crazy, some singles are rated for 650 cfm and others are rated for 2800. But I see dual fans for Tahoes rated at 5500 cfm...

Re: Updated LT1 Single turbo pics Jim really did his homework on the car, and it's been really well done. Stuffing an 80mm turbo in that engine compartment is *NOT* an easy task.
It runs beautifully so far, and sounds a lot like a stock LT1.
Now, to see about making some real boost
I'm guessing with a conservative tune, it should see 600rwhp at 10-15psi, 700-800rwhp at 15-20psi.

Re: Updated LT1 Single turbo pics Thanks for the compliments guys
Allthough I havn't got the boost controller installed yet, I strapped the car down on the dyno and was just using vacuum t's in the wastegate line to vary boost.
With 100 octane, it spiked to 20 psi at 4,600, and then dropped off to around 16psi shortly after.
It made 645rwhp at 5,070 and 700rwtq at 4,650. Both HP and torque lines were on a steep incline until boost dropped and then they dropped off.
Hopefully when I get the boost controller installed and see some steady boost it will lay down some REAL hp
